Is it hard for cars to see you in this? I'm afraid of getting run over, especially in the dark.

I bought this bike for my 11 year old daughter who has a balance disorder. We attached the flag that came with the bike and I also bought a flashing light I installed on the back frame of the seat. She has ridden all over the streets of our summer lake house community and never had an issue.

It is low to the ground, so on streets where sidewalks are not available or cars are parked on the street, I would take extra procautions. My son rides it when I walk the neighborhood, I usually ask him to ride on the sidewalk - it does come with a flag that is positioned along the seat which higher and bright orange. There is also a reflector behind the chair. Hope this helps.

You can get small led lights and stick on the flag pole. If the flag bends over with lights on the pole you could substitute it for a thin aluminum or wood pole. You could even use push together tent poles. They also sell reflective tape on amazon, hardware stores, and dept. stores. You could wrap the tape around the pole or even get fluorescent spray paint and paint the pole. Hope this helps.

DO NOT RIDE THIS IN THE DARK!!! I have put both a headlight and an LED flashing red taillight on mine and have been almost hit five times in the daylight. I had to resort to a helmet cam to catch the people who said it was my fault. On a happier note the trike is so cute that people forget to watch the road. So I just ride it on the back streets. But, my dog loves to pull it and me so it is still a lot of fun. Just keep your dog away from the front tire or risk smashed toes(experience).

I bought my mobo for my wife, she has back troubles and needs the support. I worried about the same thing. It comes with a flag on a 5 foot or so pole that mounts behind the seat that helps a lot. We live rural and what little traffic there is on our gravel road seems to see her fine.

I can't see well enough at night to drive safely anymore. Last night I HAD to drive home in the dark both on highway and dark, winding roads. These were a godsend, and made it home safely. They reduced the oncoming lights' glare and brightened the roads.

Bud, hi beams light up the road as if you have two cars beside you. You can see about 100 yards in front of you. I have both low n hi beam piaa . Just can't seem to get the fog light bulbs, or else the road would be day light .

Yes during the day you can see cars good at night not so good. Mostly just lights.

It's difficult to see behind you at night. My summer car is 20% all around, including approx 1/3 windshield, which made it necessary to install a rear-view camera. I'm not sure how much of a difference not having the front windows tinted would make, but I assume not a whole lot. I recommend going with 35% but nothing less. Twenty to thirty five is a significant difference but %50 seems like nothing at all.

from drivers perspective they are not hard to drive behind. from an oncoming traffic point of view - depends on the angle of the road and height of on-coming car but so far nobody on-coming has flashed their lights, notating that my lights are bothering them. I hope this helps!

Its not too dark.... If your good with tint go for it but me ... I wouldnt it would be to hard for me .. Its has a sticky backing which would be easy to stick to the visor but shaping it and making sure no bubles are trapped ... I wouldnt

Some say it is hard. I find it easy to see in all types of lighting. The backlight works well in dim or dark places. I was in regular daylight today and it was easy to see. Maybe if it was direct sunlight like a bright sunny day with the sun directly on it you may have trouble, but I had plenty of sun in NH today and had no problems.

The light is really small but it's bright enough to hit the road. It will let cars know you're there but it's not going to light the entire roadway.

YES, defentately it wouldthe best about it is, that you can adjust to the exact size you will needwe both love it [my dog and I] - people and cars do see him much better in the dark and do not need to be afraid

I have Photo Phobia so I do not drive at night, but as a passenger it helps me. I am not sure how it would be for a driver.

The screen protector is designed to protect from people that are sitting next to you from looking...when I installed it. I doings that it was too dark. I disabled me auto bright and it did the trick. But it was hard to see at day and night.. If you really want something that stop screen snooping try the mirror protector. Be advised...it will be hard on your eyes and even harder on anyone attempting to screen snoop at any angle. Infact I will give them a headache..

Absolutely, first thing I did was try it on myself and my brother-in-law. It's very disorienting if you're on the receiving end! If you're behind the light, you can still see well enough to be effective.

Depends on the interior color of your car. If your interior is black. Then it shouldn't be an issue. Any dark color shouldn't be an issue. It's when you have a white interior or a hot pink interior when things seem out of place.

To answer regarding brightness.. The "blue" circle n fw/rw buttons you see is only what will be lit up. It will show about as much as you see it! I think its enough to see in dark.. Its also going to be next to/close to you on your dash board (left of stereo right of steering wheel)So its easy access!

I personally don't want to try this, for fear of wrecking the light, but I've gone up to 40 MPH without even a slight movement from the light. Granted, it's not on my car 24/7 either.
